Pete told Jimmy Fallon on a recent Tonight Show appearance, "I feel like I won a contest," when asked about being engaged to Ariana. She has already teased a new song, "Pete," about, "this love that I'm in."

The happy couple, who have been pictured lately shopping and holding hands around New York, paid $16 million for a chevron-shaped condo on the High Line.

One of the last finished buildings of the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid, the chic condo is all curves. Ariana and Pete can cook together in their highly-curated, top-of-the-line kitchen, or watch Pete's favorite flick, "Good Time," starring Robert Pattinson, in the private IMAX theatre. It is a cinematic marvel for any apartment to have. It reportedly cost a half-million-dollars to construct.

The pair will have plenty of room for wedding gifts too: there's on-site storage inspired by a Swiss bank vault. Plus, in a city where keeping a car can be a challenge, the integrated parking deck is a luxury in itself.

In a class of high-end condos where promoting wellness is an amenity theme, this building includes a juice bar, fitness center, and 75-foot sky-lit pool. There is also a private reservable spa suite that may interest this amorous pair.

Ariana and Pete's unit has five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The master connects to an en-suite walk-in closet with dressing room. The master bath is done in Nero Marquinia marble with a freestanding six-foot sculptural bathtub.

The white oak hardwoods add warmth to the main living area, while the 9-foot retractable wall-to-wall windows provide those artsy high-line views. This boutique building appears to have everything two young trend-setters need.

Cynics may decry the speed of Ariana and Pete's engagement–the camera-ready PDA, her $93,000 ring, or the tribute ink they've gotten for each other at Chinatown’s No Idols Tattoo Shop–but they've both seen darker days and been hurt before. What's different this time? Laughter was the spark of their attraction–according to the word on the street.

Is it crazy to move into a space-age luxury condo with someone you've only dated for two months? Maybe. But as the Spanish poet, Pedro Calderon de la Barca, once said, "When love is not madness, it is not love."

These are the hot neighborhoods where celebrities live in London

Kensington and Chelsea

This area has long had a reputation for luxury and swank. It's known to hide some of the most outrageous basement bunkers complete with underground swimming pools and million dollar man caves. Townhouses here are flush with state-of-the-art fixtures and fancy roof gardens that compliment the charming Georgian architecture.

British rap sensation Stormzy keeps a flat in Chelsea near rock legend Eric Clapton, while fashion designer Paul Smith's Kensington mansion is worth $135 million. Rowan Atkinson and Madonna also bought homes here.

London has its share of millionaire boroughs, but K & C is the richest of them all. A penthouse in the Bulgari building in Knightsbridge sold for a whopping $157 million five years ago.

Notting Hill

This affluent section of West London was on everyone's radar after the 1999 romantic comedy of the same name starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant hit multiplexes.

It is prized for its renowned market where you can find vintage Chanel, Dior, and Hermes.

Notting Hill seems to hold a special place in the hearts of musicians. Damon Albarn lives and supports the local businesses on Portobello Road. When Tori Amos lived here she used to serenade the locals on the piano in a tiny brasserie. Bjork and Robbie Williams are also rumored to call Notting Hill home.

Richmond

Tom Hardy, a couple of Rolling Stones, Pete Townshend of British rock band, the Who, David Attenborough, Jerry Hall, actress Amanda Holden, Rick Astley, and Richard Ashcroft all live in Richmond.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie also bought a $16-million home here in happier times.

Pete Townshend of the Who's Richmond Mansion

The Richmond Theatre plays host to celebrities performing in limited runs, while the neighborhood homes offer everything from Victorian mansions to modern apartments.

Regents Park

The area around one of London's royal parks is a place many celebrities have purchased homes.

The northwest side–an area known as St. John's Wood, attracts the likes of Keith Richards, Kate Moss, Sir Paul McCartney, Ewen McGregor, Sir Richard Branson, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, and record-producer Mark Ronson.

Artist Damien Hirst's Regents Park manse has a basement for his art collection.

You know it's a money place when the Rolling Stones' song "Play With Fire" contains the lyrics: "Your mother she's an heiress, owns a block in Saint John's Wood."

Belsize Park

Just to the Northeast of Regents is Belsize Park where Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are known to reside, along with Tom Hiddleston, the Gallagher brothers, Sean Bean, Kate Hudson, Hugh Laurie, Jude Law, and Martin Freeman.

Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow caused a lot of commotion here a few years ago with their frequent renovations to their $7 million  mansion.

Clapham

One of South London's hippest areas, Clapham has become an enclave for powerful celebrity women. J.K. Rowling, Vivienne Westwood, Margot Robbie, and Vanessa Redgrave are among the famous faces here.

Stroll through Clapham Common on a Saturday morning and you'll see people working out with wireless headphones, yoga by the bandstand, and plenty of friendly dog walkers.

Fulham

Young-money celebs are drawn to the independent boutiques, hangout spots like the Durrell Arms, fabulous brunches at Manuka Kitchen, and the chic window displays Fulham has going on.

One stretch on Fulham Road is known as "The Beach" and you'll find it lined with convertible Porsches parked outside of the numerous gastropubs and galleries.

According to the New York Post, the full-floor condo at 508 West 24th Street is located in architect/developer Cary Tamarin’s new 10-story, 15-unit complex in West Chelsea’s Meatpacking District, overlooking the trendy High Line—a 1.45-mile-long linear park that replaced an old freight rail line. The building is designed in the spirit of West Chelsea’s industrial-era warehouses which have been transformed into trendy condos, art galleries, restaurants—creating one of Manhattan’s most desired neighborhoods.

Carmelo Anthony will reportedly combine two condo units at 508 West 24th Street, which he bought for a total of $11 million.

Word on the mean streets suggests Anthony and La La nabbed two fifth floor apartments, which they will combine for one full-floor 4,556-square-foot home. Individual units feature private elevator access, 10-foot ceilings, expansive living and dining areas, white oak floors, and custom walnut and Calacatta Gold marble kitchens and bathrooms. Master bedroom suites include luxurious spa baths and private dressing rooms. The building also has a gym, rooftop terrace and ground floor retail space.

508 West 24th Street only houses 15 condo units, which overlook the High Line.

The High Line, a railway converted into a linear park.

Word is Anthony's full-floor condo will boast a total of 4,556 square feet.

Kitchen featuring Calacatta Gold marble and cabinets made by genuine cabinetmakers.

The 6-foot-8-inch Anthony will likely sleep in a longer bed than this, and in a more spacious bedroom.

Bathroom crafted of Calacatta Gold marble

As a premier NBA shooter, Anthony finally pinpointed his home—where the action is. Anthony is familiar with intense action, as the franchise player carrying the Knicks nightly in the world’s most famous arena, Madison Square Garden. Anthony, who tested free agency after last season, hedged his bet—renting a Fifth Avenue apartment on Museum Mile reportedly for $29,000 per month—as he contemplated playing elsewhere. Once his franchise shopping concluded (re-signing with the Knicks), it was time to house hunt. He toured several penthouses, including downtown’s most expensive apartment atop SkyLofts. But he and La La eventually settled on the trendier Meatpacking area, where delicious restaurants rule and fashionable models and entertainers hang.

Carmelo Anthony's $124 million guaranteed contract will pay for his new West Chelsea home.

Stylish couple, Carmelo and La La Anthony

Anthony was the New York Knick's sole representative at the 2015 All-Star Game (hosted at his MSG office), which will surely go down as the highlight of his season. Unfortunately for him, the Knicks season is a total disaster and his knee injury may end his season as well. At least he can rehab in his building’s new gym—that is, when the shame of the Knick’s abysmal season wears off. That will take a while, perhaps until next season. But at least he's finally scored a permanent home. That's worth more than another meaningless three-pointer in a lost season.

The post NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony Scores $11 Million Chelsea Home appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

Movie star couple Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde traded up before listing their two-bedroom, 2.5 bath Chelsea apartment for nearly $4 million recently, just eight months after the birth of their son, Otis.

Actors Jason Sudeikis and fiancée Olivia Wilde put are aiming for a $777,000 profit on the home they bought in 2012.

The 1,670-square-foot corner unit boasts ample light, 13-foot ceilings and great views of the Meatpacking District.

The kitchen showcases high-end stainless steel appliances.

The actors bought the modest (by celebrity standards) Meatpacking District apartment at 66 Ninth Avenue in 2012 for $3.23 million. Listing agent Ann Cutbill Lenan of Douglas Elliman real estate told media outlets that the couple “moved on to a bigger place.” (we’re guessing literally and figuratively).

Sudeikis earned his comedic wings via brash and cocky characters as a featured “not ready for primetime player” on Saturday Night Live before graduating to become a bonafide A-list comedy movie star in successful movies such as Horrible Bosses and We’re the Millers. New York City-born Wilde achieved international stardom television shows such as The O.C. and House M.D., and then in films such as Cowboys & Aliens.

When you consider the actors’ skyrocketing careers and a son who’s about to test out his walking shoes, it’s understandable why the family flew the Chelsea coop—despite what’s generally considered a spacious pad by Manhattan standards. But once you've gone Hollywood, standards change. Sudeikis and Wilde, who can play the game in Hollywood or New York appear to have left the Meatpacking District's High Line for the high life. Who could blame them?

Sudeikis and Wilde outgrew the two-bedroom apartment following the birth of their son.

One of the 2.5 baths.

The star couple's apartment is modest by celebrity standards.

Space aside, the listed 1,670-square-foot corner unit in Chelsea could offers few A-list frills outside of expansive views, 13-foot ceilings, walk-in closets, custom Italian cabinetry and high-end appliances. The apartment (across from Chelsea Market) could very well pass for a business executive’s bachelor pad with access to a public roof deck, a fitness center and bike storage.

Wilde gained fame on the TV show House M.D. while Sudeikis honed his chops as a featured player on SNL.

The New York couple are engaged and have an eight-month old son.

The apartment is located in the Porter House, a conversion building (actually an expansion of an industrial building to condos) designed by SHoP architects and built in 2003--named for the "porterhouse" cut of steak in a nod to the Meatpacking District. According to Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the base of the building is a yellow-brick Renaissance Revival warehouse structure originally erected in 1905. Meanwhile, the condo conversion rests on top of the warehouse--disguised as a dark zinc-façade box with vertical lighting elements as large as some of its windows. The agency calls these oversized windows "visible beacons" that resemble "lines of barcode."

The Porter House building offers a prime location near Hudson River Park's walking and bike paths, dog runs and green spaces as well as High Line Park, Chelsea Piers recreation center, restaurants, clubs and art galleries.

Listing agent Lenan correctly calls the neighborhood “hip” and the Sudeikis-Wilde apartment itself “sunny.” Since SNL alum Sudeikis is a rising comedy star, the apartment may also have traces of funny left behind. So whoever buys it, the joke may be on them. In this case, that would be a good thing.

Sporting a cool geometric sophistication, the upscale 10-story residential offers 15 resplendent two- and three-bedroom condominiums—over half of which tout private outdoor spaces—ranging from 2,000 to over 3,300 square feet in size.

Priced from $3 million to $12.5 million, the sprawling homes—which are saturated with sunlight during the day—boast 10- to 12-foot ceilings and continuous oversized casement ribbon windows, a trademark of architect/developer Cary Tamarkin. The windows alternate with broad strips of sleek architectural concrete, creating a bold and genuine aesthetic.

Each of the residences is accessed via a key-locked private lift, which opens to an entry gallery foyer that leads into an expansive open living and dining space outfitted with quarter-sawn white oak floors.

The kitchens are all appointed with a number of luxuriant features, including exquisite walnut cabinetry; Bianco sinks and Vola polished chrome faucets; Viking six-burner stoves and microwaves; Sub-Zero refrigerators and wine fridges; Miele dishwashers; and Calacatta Gold-marble countertops and backsplashes custom-designed by Tamarkin himself.

Every master suite features a luxe bath spa with Italian Calacatta Gold-marble floor, walls, and countertops; custom-designed white oak medicine cabinet and double vanity; and a steam shower with rain showerhead and built-in marble bench. The secondary bedrooms' en suite baths each have a private dressing room, along with Portuguese Azul Lagos limestone floors; porcelain ceramic tile walls; a custom lacquered vanity; and a Catalano ceramic sink. All the baths showcase Zuma soaking tubs and Vola polished chrome fixtures.

The contemoprary structure's three opulent penthouses also each feature a wood-burning fireplace, 11- or 12-foot ceilings, and three bedrooms complete with en suite baths, not to mention wraparound private terraces that envelope a dramatic mix of sky, greenery, and sculpted concrete.

The posh edifice, which has a gallery-like lobby dressed with cypress wood and natural cleft slate, will feature a doorman and a state-of-the-art intercom, as well as a video security system. The building will also have a fully equipped fitness hub, a full-time superintendent, and laundry room with commercial-grade washers and dryers, and large private storage spaces for each residence, along with a shared courtyard appointed with a gas grill.

Foster + Partners has revealed that its new Chelsea condominium's uppermost penthouse will be sweetened with a splendid sky pool, occupying a small portion of its 4,000 square-foot private outdoor area.

The over-the-top amenity, which spans 61 feet, will be nestled within a stunning terrace overlooking the Hudson. The posh property is reportedly now on the market for a cool million . . . times fifty.

The listing is one of three spectacular penthouses at 555 West 21st Street, a luxury project that will be comprised of 44 lavish apartments upon its completion next year.

The suave building, which will boast an exquisite double height lobby accented with a prismatic wall; full-time doorman, porter, valet and concierge service; and a gated drive court, marks a new standard in Manhattan real estate, with its "cheapest" apartment priced at roughly six million dollars.

The awe-inspiring structure will be storm-ready to boot; it will be smartly armed with a waterproof wall of concrete sheathed in ornamental metal and granite stone, which will rise five or six feet above curbed level in case of a Hurricane Sandy-repeat. In addition, a gas-powered emergency generator will sit on its roof, poised 19 stories safely above its flood-prone basement.
